Cameron White to replace McGain

Cameron White, the 25-year old all-rounder from Victoria has been named as Bryce McGain's replacement for the India tour after McGain had to fly home for treatment on his shoulder. He will join the squad on October 6 in Bangalore.

"We feel that Cameron's right-arm legspin and experience in Indian conditions, where he has just returned after captaining the Australia A one-day team to a tournament victory, is the correct option and will provide a good balance to our slow bowling attack," Andrew Hilditch, the chairman of selectors, said.

"Cameron's bowling has continued to improve over the past year at inter-state level and his powerful batting adds extra depth and versatility to the squad."

"Cameron has performed well in Australian colours since his return to the one-day international squad earlier this year and he has now been rewarded with inclusion in the Test squad," he added.

White is yet to play a test but has played 21 ODIs for Australia. More recently, he led Australia A to a series triumph in a triangular series in India.
